I've had DBS About 7/8yrs ago & I've had no problems I do forget things I going to say at times but when U sit & think about it it normally comes back I would recommend a DBS for any one who is contemplating having it. If you read my story You will see that I had the op done Twice.

JeanneS, In answer to your dementia question, I had to have a battery of tests with & without medication including a neuropsychological test in order to become eligible for DBSsurgery. That was in 2023. I recently had another neropsych exam one year after surgery. Any questions should be directed to your hospital team of drs. I hope that was helpful. HelaineS
